Kumar Vishwas and party view can be different: AAP

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) today stated that the party’s view on issue of Dalit struggles in the country is certain and further clarified that Kumar Vishwas’ views against caste-based reservation were personal and should not be taken as the party’s stand.

The party expressed support for reservation in education, jobs and in elections.

“There cannot be a competition between two individuals who don’t stand on the same tangent. If one person stands at 0 and the other stands at 20, there is no point in putting their challenges on the same level and giving them same opportunities,” AAP leader Sanjay Singh told the media here.

In a speech at AAP headquarters here in October, Kumar Vishwas had condemned the system of reservation, saying: “A man in the Indian history divided the country in the name of his so-called revolution of (caste-based) reservations. The effect of it is being felt even today.
